In 1974, in the quiet town of Amityville, New York, a gruesome crime shocked the community. Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family while they slept in their home at 112 Ocean Avenue. But the story didn't end there.
A year later, George and Kathy Lutz bought the house at a steep discount, unaware of what awaited them. Shortly after moving in, they began experiencing terrifying phenomena that would force them to flee after just 28 days.
George reported waking up every night at 3:15 a.m.—the exact time of the murders. They heard voices echoing through the halls, doors slamming shut on their own, and foul smells coming from nowhere.
The Lutzes' children claimed their beds would shake violently at night, and Kathy said she saw strange welts appear on her body. At one point, George saw a pair of glowing red eyes staring at him through a window.
One of the most disturbing incidents involved the family dog, Harry. One night, the dog barked incessantly at the boathouse, but when George went to investigate, he found no one there—just an overwhelming sense of dread.
Desperate, the family called a priest to bless the house. As the priest performed the ritual, he heard a deep, guttural voice command: "Get out."
The Lutz family left the house, abandoning all their belongings. Though skeptics have questioned parts of their story, many visitors to the Amityville house report strange sensations, shadows, and inexplicable noises to this day.
